A lot of places are shutting down there email systems as a result of the recent rash of viruses. Allowing intercompany mail only.

Your ISP must have been catagorized as an "open relay". This can happen when someone with the same ISP as you abuses email and causes the whole ISP to be "black-balled". Due to the HUGE amount of SPAM that we get we subscribe to a service that keeps track of open relays and automatically rejects email from these senders. My guess is that due to the large number of virus related emails going around your ISP must have been tagged as an open relay. You should forward the rejected to your ISP and tell them to clear it up.

I looked into the problem and found that one of the services we were using for SPAM detection was causing the problem. I removed them from the list. So the problem should be corrected.

Ken,
It has been recommended that you may have advice for me. I would like to offer up some favorable seeds I've collected as a fund raiser for our young and unfunded weigh off here in Montana. I intend to collect more seed and would like to share with the AG community in an internet auction of sorts. Is this something you've done here on this site before? Or is there another more appropriate way to offer seed in the hopes of raising cash to keep us going...? I'm open to anyone's input and advice. I understand this would only be with Howard Dill's blessing. Thank you for any fund raising advice. Kim
